sciences dealing with international relations, or with foreign areas and
people, whether conducted in the United States or abroad, which are
supported by contracts or grants awarded by the Agency must be reported.
This applies to all classified and unclassified projects dealing with
any aspect of foreign affairs even when there is neither contact with
foreign nationals nor travel abroad.
3. You will recall that project proposals involving contacts with
foreign nationals, travel abroad?or special sensitivities (see NFAC

Science Information Exchange (SSIE), "Notice of Research Project," can
be used to report unclassified projects. The "Foreign Affairs Research

MEMORANDUM FOR: All Office Directors and NIOs, NFAC
Deputy Director for Operations
Deputy Director for Science and Technology
FROM : Coordinator for Academic Relations and External
Analytical Support, NFAC
SUBJECT : Letter from the Chairman, DSRC, July 20, 1978
Requesting Special Reporting of "All (Foreign
Affairs Research) Projects Currently in Contract
which Deal with the USSR in any Respect and which
Have Not Yet Been Reported" and Calling for Prompt
Submission of Information Regarding any Such Projects
That Are Contemplated between Now and July 1, 1979
1. Your attention is especially directed to subparagraph 1. of the
letter, which is attached.
2. On subparagraph 2., please note that the desired reporting concerns
specifically topics "likely to be sensitive in the current context, even
if the projects do not involve travel to the area or contacts with foreign
nationals in the US or abroad." This substantially broadens the scope of
definition usually applied to FAR projects we are expected to report.
3. In addition to the injunction to "err on the side of submission,"
in the event of any projects, current or contemplated, that we may prefer
not to report owing to the need to protect sources and methods, kindly
consult with the undersigned in order that the DCI may be informed.
